I SERENA M. OARNES, OF NEw YORK, N. Y.

SAD-IRON HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,006, dated December 12, 1882, I

Application filed October 14, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SERENA. M. GARNEs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sad-Iron Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, and

exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a novel holder for sad-irons, which will wholly protect the hand of the user from the heat of the iron, and one which will cling to the handle of theiron and remain in place thereon when the hand of the user is removed from the holder.

Reference is to he had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of a sad-iron having my new and improved holder applied to the handle thereof. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the holder. respectively front and edge views of the claspspring; and Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of the holder taken on the line 00 00 of Fig. 2.

A represents a sad -iron of ordinary form, and B represents the handle of the sad-iron, and 0 represents my new and improved holder, which is adapted to be placed upon and to clasp the handle 0, as shown in Fig. 1. i

The holder is composed of the clasp-spring d, outer covering, g, and paddingf, placed in the covering and around the spring, as shown in Fig. 5.

The paddingf may he of cotton, wool, or of any other suitable non-conducting material, and should be of such quantity or thickness as to perfectly protect the handof the user from Figs. 3 and 4 are i the heat of the iron, and the outer covering, 9.

may be ofehamois-skin or any leather, or of cloth, stitched around so as to inclose the padding and spring, leaving suffieientsurplns material both in the covering and padding to surround the handle of the sad-iron, as will be understood from the drawings.

Formed in this manner the holder may be easily placed upon and removed from the handle of the sad-iron, and when in place on the handle it will be clasped and held there by the central portions, b b, of the spring, which reach under thehandle, so that the user may remove her hand from the holder at pleasure without the annoyance and delay of having to replace the holder on the handle every time the hand is so removed, as is the'case with the rag holders commonly used.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A sad-iron holder containing a spring adapted to clasp any sad-iron handle and be retained thereon bythe elasticity ofthe spring, as set forth.

2. The spring d, formed with the central clasping portions, 1) b, and the oval or loop portions to a, in combination with the paddingf and outer covering, g, substantially as described.

3. A spring, d, for sad-iron holders. provided with the central clasping portions, 1) b, and end loops, aa, substantially as shown anddescribed.
